Stories of GovCon: Featuring Justin Lerma, ASI Government
Stories of GovCon is a monthly series where the Greg and Camille Baroni Center for Government Contracting at George Mason University and the NCMA Washington, DC Chapter collaborate to give students and professionals a chance to connect and learn from each other. Each month, a professional working in government contracting tells the story of how they got where they are.

He has worked with more than 30 federal agencies and trained over 900 Contracting Officers and Specialists. His work covers acquisition strategies for IT buys, cloud spend, and contract management. He also creates content for ASI Education and is a published author. He’ll talk about how his career has unfolded and what he’s learned along the way.
